My 150 pound Neopolitan Mastiff used to pitch a fit when I cut his nails, I started using my husbands dremel to file them down and he loved it. He used to come over and put his paw on my knee begging for a mani-pedi. I miss my Bubba dog.

My boy Lucas screams too! It is so embarrassing at the vets, but I think it is worse for the staff because it sounds like someone is killing him! All of the people in dogs in the waiting room get really nervous listening to him.

My 5 year old Doberman/Coon Hound is so anxious about it, her dad has to bear hug her, cover her bottom with a towel and keep her mouth closed. It gets worse and worse every time we do it (though I don’t know how it could). I fear that by the end of this year, she’ll never be able to have them cut again. We’ve tried the highest dosage of Ace and it actually made her hyper instead of calm. Her vet has refused to do her nails for everyone’s safety involved. If we had a window or door open during the process, I’m sure it would sound like someone was getting murdered.

Peanut butter is the only way we’ve gotten our now-10-month-old Australian mutt through nail trims, brushings, physicals, x-rays, post-surgery staple removals… you name it, PB has been there. We just bring a jar and a dipping bone to the vet now.

We have had our 7 lbs maltese-poodle mutt of a princess done her nails once. We have been able to keep her nails at safe length because she likes to kick back in circle on concrete any time she has her walk.
